The band expressed their excitement, stating, "As parents, reading bedtime stories to our kids was always one of our favourite and most sacred traditions. Writing this book has been an extremely fun and rewarding experience, and we're so proud of how it turned out!" They noted that many of their original teenage fans are now parents, allowing a new connection through the book.
The band hopes that the book will create fun bonding experiences for families and inspire children worldwide to pursue their dreams. Furthermore, for each copy sold, $1 will be donated to the Simple Plan Foundation, which offers underprivileged kids access to musical instruments and mental health support.
